How do you know it works? Did is "seem" to run better after installing one?
There is not one set of valid dyno results that have ever shown any
improvement. Just moving the tb further from the intake makes no logical
sense...why not mount the tb like 6 inches above the intake to get a really
dramatic effect....sorry, but I remain a skeptic.

Another message I'd meant to reply to and never did...
the list's wisdom has always been that TB spacers do absolutely nothing
for the 318/360, but the Jeep 4.0L does actually respond very favorably to
a TB spacer. On a multiport fuel injected motor it really shouldn't, but
apparently it does. Whether the Iron Duke is more like the 4.0L or more
like the 5.2/5.9L, I don't know.
